About Arnar Sigtryggsson

I work for a consultant engineering firm in Reykjavik. I have two daughthers, 21 and 2 year old. A passion for travelling, and am privileged being able to enjoy Iceland all year round. The house in the south brings me closer to nature and is a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was clean, warm, and cozy. It had everything that we needed. We enjoyed using the sauna after long days of sightseeing. Great location to be away from the city, but close enough to drive to all of the beautiful southern coast sights. On our second night we enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL display of the northern lights from the patio. We could not have asked for a better experience. The owner was very helpful and had some very nice welcoming touches waiting for us. I highly recommend this cottage for your stay in Iceland! We would gladly stay here again for future trips!

Highly recommend this as a place to stay if you are looking to explore this part of Iceland. Comfy and very clean - well equipped with many lovely touches that made our stay truly memorable. Stunning views of the volcanos as you leave the house each morning - handy for most of the highlights in South Iceland such a the Golden Circle, waterfalls , glacier walk and Westman Islands.

Highly recommended

It is quite rare to stay in a house that provides all the little extras that make your stay that much easier and nicer and this house is by far the best I have stayed in for this. The way it was presented for our arrival was on a par with what you would expect from a top hotel.

We loved our 2 week stay and wished it had been longer. It is in a really good location for exploring South Iceland with all its visitors attractions and also for your shopping. The house is very private and the hot tub a real bonus/treat after a day exploring. I really hope to be able to stay again in the future, thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely house.

This home was comfortable, quiet and in the perfect location to relax while also not being too far from activities. Jakob (the host) was easy to work with and contact if anything was needed!

Map

Southern Region, Iceland

The house is located in the quiet area of Rangarvellir in South of Iceland, approximately 6 km (3,9 miles) from the ring road in Iceland. The village of Hella is only 6.6 (3.9 miles) km from the house with many services among restaurants, swimming pool, pharmacy and all other basic such as a grocery store and a fuel station. Distance to another village, Hvolsvollur, is 15.6 km (9.7 miles). Similar services are available in Hvolsvollur. The house is very well situated for going on daily tours in the South as well as visiting parts of the south highland. In summer you can take a day trip with the highland bus to the hotspring at Landmannalaugar (dep. Hella) or to Thorsmork or drive there directly if you rent a 4x4 SUV.The volcanos Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull, Tindfjallajokull and Westman Islands are partly visible on a clear day from the house or a few meters from the house. Unobstructed Northern Lights are visible from the house from autumn to spring (September-April).
